The configuration that I put together when the original poster asked for
an HD capable system for under $5K included an Apple monitor, three hard
drives (250GB & 500Gb internal, 500Gb external and 4Gb of RAM along with
Final Cut Studio for around $4700. If you put that system together at
the Apple website without taking advantage of education discounts and
not installing your own RAM and extra hard drive it'll run you around
$6300.
